Legends of the Surfer Subculture: Part One

The Generalized Web Surfer

Different models have been proposed for improving the results of Web search by taking into account the link structure of the Web. The PageRank algorithm models the behavior of a random surfer alternating between random jumps to new pages and following out links with equal probability. We propose to improve on PageRank by using an intelligent surfer that combines link structure and content to de...

The ibogaine medical subculture.

AIM OF THE STUDY Ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychoactive indole alkaloid that is used to treat substance-related disorders in a global medical subculture, and is of interest as an ethnopharmacological prototype for experimental investigation and possible rational pharmaceutical development. The subculture is also significant for risks due to the lack of clinical and pharmaceutical standa...

Kemeny's Constant and the Random Surfer

We revisit Kemeny’s constant in the context of Web navigation, also known as “surfing”. We derive bounds on the constant and give it a novel interpretation in terms of the number of links a random surfer will follow to reach his final destination.

ONE-DIMENSIONAL TREATMENT OF HYDROGEN BOND PART 2

The potential function of Lippincott and Schroeder for linear hydrogen bond has been re-examined and extended to nonlinear hydrogen bond. The parameters originally introduced to the potential function by Lippincott and Schroeder have been determined from the structural parameters such as 0.. .Odistance 0-H bond distance, H.. .O distance and HOO angle. Thevalidity of harmonic oscillator appr...
